Deadly Manners

All the voice actors were superb. Great story and kept me guessing until the end. The only complaint I have is how heavy handed the handling of the same sex relationship was. I get wanting to preach tolerance, but it wasn’t realistic of the time period and it was distracting with how many times “everyone deserves love” was brought up. After it was mentioned for the 100th time, it started to detract from the story because their romance no longer felt organic and like it was placed there to tick a box. Other than that, this was a very entertaining podcast.

(Spoiler alert) Great if somewhat cheesy old school murder mystery. So my kids are super into murder mysteries and can handle adult themes (they loved Knives Out) so I thought this would be a great one for some long car rides we had. And it was solidly PG until about six episodes in when completely out of the blue a bdsm storyline emerges! I had to laugh to myself from the front seat as they sat silent through it. Still recommend it, just be prepared!

With such a great compilation of talent, how can you go wrong?!? I was laughing out loud by myself at the comedic slant (butler who appears from nowhere, the actor, ect) Then there’s the plot - I was glued. The surround sound was so clear, it had me jumping around like a nut. LOL. Thank you for a super well written, well acted podcast that was not about the apocalypse during a pandemic. I needed the relief. Thank you!

I don’t know how I missed this when it came out. The Voice Actors are HUGE STARS ! It was such a kookie cast and crazier story. NO SPOILERS HERE but it kept me guessing until the end. It was NOT who I thought it would be! I want MORE! I wish there were more podcasts like this one !

In a good mystery story there is foreshadowing and a slowly revealed story. This starts as if that is what it will do, but around chapter 6 it goes off the rails and begins slinging “twists” like they suddenly realized they had forgotten to come up with the ending. The big reveal at the end makes 0 sense and has characters drastically changing personalities and motivations. It’s clear that there is a political slant and they want to make a statement, but the way they do it would be ham-fisted if they even seemed to have a coherent statement to make.

I listened to the first 2.5 episodes and it was too cheesy and not interesting enough to continue. Character development was drawn out and too campy but not enough to be funny. I ended up listening to the final episode a few days later ... would recommend doing that just for the bizarre twist, so odd that it was comical
